Notes

Studio recording, 2003-2004 era. Guitar World interview confirms Strat and Fender Twin as primary studio setup for 'Nobody Else' album sessions. Marshall stack also present but likely used for layering or solos. Riff section is Strat into Fender Twin with Tube Screamer and Vox wah available in pedal chain. No evidence of Leslie or heavy modulation for riff section.

Difficulty

The riff requires intermediate skill due to its syncopated Texas blues rhythm, dynamic picking, and the need for precise control of touch-sensitive, edge-of-breakup tone.
